The Corner Shop9 Ballarat StYarravilleVIC 3013(03) 9689 0052Another month, another road trip to Yarraville to stock up on awesome German sausages from Andrew's Choice. (According to my sources, they make the best sausages in Melbourne "by far".)

Coca-Cola Cupcake, in heart formValentine's Day saw us enjoying beautiful free music from the MSO at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and having a lovely picnic. Ooh... check out the tension and the wires.

My Krispy Kreme obsession shows no sign of slowing...How cuuuute! Heart-shaped donuts from Krispy Kreme. Yes, I know I'm lame, but I couldn't resist. $2.90 each, and incredibly cute. They were cheaper than roses and a lot more delicious. ...

Scallops - Seared with crispy pork belly and spiced jus - $21 Ok, I guess a few more people than I thought have actually heard of Canberra! (See comments on the last post). I guess it's not quite as humble as I thought, hehe. I'm sure you'll forgive me though, read on... Before we flew up to Canberra,...
Hi Everyone,We are sad to say, that in the face of scorching temperatures and strong winds, we are postponing the planned Bloggers BBQ (previously scheduled for Saturday 7th Feb.) 43c is definitely too hot for barbecuing or standing around in the sun. Actually, it's probably too hot for anything that doesn't involve a cold drink and/or a swimming...
The view of Parliament House from Nara Park in Canberra, where we had a lovely picnic on our 2nd day Canberra might not be the most obvious holiday destination, but we always have a great time up there. I love the lack of traffic, the abundance of cafes, the many green parks. Yes, it's very quiet, some might...
Erdbeerkuchen, with super-shiny glaze made with Pomegranate JuiceJust over a month ago, I received some Pom Wonderful® 100% Pomegranate Juice to test.
